Chapter 24 The pinnacle of work
Pei Min suddenly realized that the sword technique he used today was somewhat similar to his.
It turned out that it was realized based on the artistic conception of the words he wrote on the Stone Castle City, just like he had understood the Saint Sword of the Grass.
Li Bai's talent in swordsmanship is no less than that of the Gongsun sisters.
Seeing that Li Bai looked down on him so highly, Pei Min also became interested and asked his servant to move the wine and food on the table aside, and put all the pens, ink, paper and ink.
Li Bai said with great interest: "Bai comes to grind!"
Wang Zhihuan also came to the side and took a closer look.
Coincidentally, Wang Zhihuan changed his mind because he read the inscriptions from Shibao City.
Pei Min's regular script is also highly praised. It is a great pleasure to be able to see Pei Min's calligraphy at a close distance.
Li Bai skillfully grinds ink.
Pei Min has begun to brew emotions: calligraphy is a scientific art, and only by bringing his own feelings can he achieve the best level, just like Zhang Xu, who was writing heroically in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.
Li Bai's poem "Hu Wuren" is not considered a masterpiece from a literary perspective compared with other poems by Li Bai.
But this poem is one of Pei Min's favorites, second only to "The Wine".
There is no other reason, just like Yue Fei's "Manjianghong·Angry Hair" is full of motivation, which makes people excited to read and have a passion in their hearts.
Pei Min was also deeply honored to be able to write this poem, striving to write an article in the best condition and spread it to future generations.
The whole poem "Hu Wuren" can be divided into three paragraphs. The first six sentences are the first paragraph, which describes the strong soldiers and horses of Hu and Han.
On the one hand, it describes the strong soldiers of the Hu people, and on the other hand, it describes the Han generals and generals who are planning and brave, showing Li Bai's personal tendency to hope that the Han army will defeat the enemy and win.
This paragraph must be written with strength and strength, and it must be completed in one go, and it must be written with the grand momentum of the confrontation between the two armies.
The four middle sentences are the second paragraph, using the battle between dragons and tigers as a metaphor to reflect the fierceness of the battlefield.
Especially "A sky-soldiers shine on the snow" and "the enemy arrows are like sand", these simple eight words vividly depict the tragic battlefield.
This section not only reflects the tragic tragedy of the battlefield, but also reflects the fearless courage of the Han army and its determination to wipe out foreign humiliation.
As for the remaining third paragraph, the simplest and most difficult words to write.
Especially the six words "Hu Wuren, Han Daochang" are to express the passion of great victory, and to show the pride of being a Chinese man and the domineering aura of being a Chinese man.
A short poem, with just over 80 words, is the biggest problem that Pei Min has encountered at present, and is even more difficult than his command of the army and fighting.
In addition to being embarrassed, Pei Min felt more about fighting spirit. This song "Hu Wuren" is worth his efforts to challenge the limits of his calligraphy.
After pondering for a long time, Pei Min was not thinking about the poem "Hu Wuren", but the battlefield he had experienced: he thought of the majestic and mighty force of the Tang army pointing to the Jiuqu land in Hexi, the heroic spirit of Li Siye with two thousand Modao soldiers to resist the Tubo heavy cavalry, and the situation where he recovered the lost land and the Tubo ministers were timid in front of him.
Everything, scene after scene echoed in his mind.
Li Bai and Wang Zhihuan did not urge them. They were also some of them. They knew that this song "Hu Wuren" was not easy to write.
Even Li Bai himself thought that his words could not write the artistic conception of this poem.
Both of them were waiting aside!
Suddenly Pei Min moved. He made a move like a sword, holding a brush like lightning, dipped in ink, and wrote the first paragraph of "Hu Wuren" on rice paper.
His writing was like a helper of God. His 42 words were written to the top and bottom, from left to right, and they were completed in one go.
In this first paragraph, he used his brushstrokes and steadily, and his strokes were square and neat, and every word was like a soldier's formation, orderly and magnificent.
In the second paragraph, Pei Min's speed began to slow down, and his pen style was different. He wrote it slowly. The characters he wrote were sparse, thin and vigorous. It was soft on the outside and hard on the inside, thick and peaceful on the inside. The brushwork seemed like a flying geese playing in the sea, which was extremely vivid, and it reflected the murderous intent on the battlefield, undoubtedly.
When I wrote the last paragraph "The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of walking on Hu's body treads on Hu's blood. Hanging Hu's blue sky, buried Hu's purple blocks. Hu's no one, Han Daochang", Pei Min's brushwork was even more delicate, and he wrote it slowly with strokes.
"This is……"
Li Bai stared straight.
Wang Zhihuan also exclaimed in surprise.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the incredible things in each other's eyes.
There is a saying in calligraphy that big characters are small characters. It is difficult to write big characters in detail, while it is difficult to write small characters in a more generous way.
"Hu Wuren" is a Chinese character, not as dense as articles or as loose as plaques. It requires both strengths.
The first paragraph is written in the technique of large characters, and the gullies are round, graceful, upright and neat. The second paragraph uses the technique of small characters, which is majestic and heavy. When using the brush to hide the tip and when closing the brush to return the tip, it describes the hidden murderous intent.
In this third paragraph, Pei Min actually integrated the writing methods of large and small characters into one place. The strokes are pointed and the strokes are reversed: the strokes are thin and the strokes are fat, the dots are sharp and round, the protruding ones are sharp and sharp, and the curves are square inside and round outside.
This unique writing technique not only does not seem discomfort, but instead depicts the characteristics of large and small characters.
This is a unique technique that can only be mastered by studying regular script deeply into the bone marrow. Just like the twenty-one "Preface to the Lanting Collection" that Wang Xizhi was known as the world's number one running script back then, twenty-one different writing styles can be described as extremely high level.
In just one short poem, Pei Min actually used three writing methods to fully highlight the three different styles of the whole poem.
When reading the whole article, every stroke is different and coordinated. The vertical words are written in a staggered manner, but they are always on a line, and the flow of energy naturally runs through it. It looks like a string of pearl necklaces, with a flying spirit.
Pei Min took back the brush with help from God and looked at his masterpiece.
I simply understood the feeling of Zhang Xu's writing "Ode to the King of Qin" back then. This article "Hu Wuren" is his masterpiece based on his extraordinary level. It will be an extremely difficult example to surpass.
It even made him feel illusion that this word was not written by him, but a god.
“That’s perfect, so wonderful!”
Li Bai didn't even describe Pei Min's masterpiece, and finally sighed: "Only the word "Duke" can match this poem."
Wang Zhihuan was moved and said: "The Gong Gong's regular script is so skilled that he can be compared with Ouyang, Yu and Chu!" He was talking about the three great masters of the Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, and Chu Suiliang.
Looking at his masterpiece with a treasure, Pei Min smiled and said, "Unless a certain calligraphy has been transformed and refined, it will be difficult to produce such a masterpiece in this life."
Without waiting for the ink to completely dry out, Li Bai took the lead and grabbed the copybook and said, "Duke Xie gave me a gift!"
Pei Min smiled and said, "I won't snatch it from you. I'll write a copy and I'll give it to you."
Only then did Li Bai carefully redistribute the case.
Chapter completed!
